allowing spell shield to block parrrley but keeping the weaknesses is stupid.

this is such a big inconvenience to on hit champs, especially gangplank since his only ability is an on hit ability. spell shields will block them now but they don't apply spell damage, they still get reduced damage from armor boots and other defense items that affect basic attacks, and stuff like pantheon shield still blocks it like a basic attack. i think riot is set on nerfing gangplank into the worst champion in the game. his ult slow is practically useless now and the little extra damage he got recently doesnt make up for it. removing atma's completely killed critplank imo since hes way harder to build as a bruiser without it so critplank is too squishy now. laning sucks because its hard to clear waves until you get tiamat. now parrrley and other on hit abilities get blocked by spell shield. make up your mind riot are on hit abilities spells or not spell.

maybe i went overboard saying they are trying to nerf him into the ground since they barely every touch him on patches but it just seems like a lot of stuff they do to other parts of the game is an indirect nerf to gangplank. they do this spell shield crap even though it isn't a hard concept to understand that on hit abilities aren't spells. it might not affect champions that have multiple damage abilities like garen and ezreal too much but gangplank only has parrrley so it would really suck to get blocked by spell shield.

the problem with that is too squishy you would get bursted as quickly as an adc. i stopped playing critplank when they removed atmas because fratmogs was like the only thing that gave him health and synergized well with him. the only crit i ever build on him anymore is IE because it at least gives a ton of AD

Actually, he has decent base hp. You can literally one shot an adc with full build, and two shot with just IE statik and triforce. As long as you farmed well with the avarice blade and q passive, you should always be ahead in both levels and gold.

Even though its just normals, I have a pretty good winrate with him. I dont know how to explain it but he just has good survivability with or without tank items. Probably his oranges healing like 400

ik a lot of people still like critplank but i just prefer typical bruiser build like hydra, trinity, IE, armor pen item, frozen fist or mallet for on hit slow and 1 more defense item. i dont think bursting the adc matters with crit too much because if you catch them alone with all that slow from either fist or mallet and the move speed from phage/trinity and oranges to remove cc you are going to kill them quickly most of the time anyways.
